Hello Curtis and Team! You mentioned occultism and the New Age in this episode, and I have so many questions. In today's culture, witchcraft and the occult have become mainstream in many ways. Everything from Harry Potter, the movie "The Craft," Tarot cards and astrology, and even Wicca. To my knowledge, magic is not advisable in Swedenborg's opinion. Any thoughts on this? If possible, please do a show on this topic, considering the popularity of these ideas. The occult is very alluring, however, I would not want to get mixed up in something dangerous. Thank you!

Hi! This is Karin. Great topic to bring up! There was a past Off The Left Eye video in which Curtis and Jonathan discussed the contrast between negative "magic" in the Bible stories and positive miraculous, spiritual events engaged in by the Magi from the east, Moses, and others. Frustratingly, I can't recall which video that is, but I did find a past Q&A video in which we discussed this topic. Scroll in to just past 23 minutes is: kzbin.infoRcEobMkdobQ

I did ask this question under the Off the Left Eye but did not get a complete answer. So I thought maybe the panel could answer it: Question: where do the Hells fit into the Grand Man? Are they a part of the Grand Man, maybe the intestines/kidneys, etc. .

[@SwedenborgFoundation]

What I find in Swedenborg's books is that since the hells consist of people who refused to be absorbed into the Grand Man of heaven, they correspond to waste products that exit the body. Not pleasant, but makes sense! - Karin
